Ideal Rep Range (How To Get The Most Out Of Every Lift)

[@dave7061]

Imagine living in the 80s and 90s when information like this wasn’t accessible for free from masters of the craft like Wenning. It’s a great time to be a lifter!

[@WenningStrength]

Now we just have to graze through all The bull shit 🌟🌟

[@stevethomas7146]

@@WenningStrength speaking bs potential, why do are so many "experts" touting rep ranges no lower 6 or even 8 per set for over 60 (or even 50) weight lifters? i appreciate your content Dave.

[@ciscohour5884]

Life was better. Information overload today.

[@BP-1972]

@@stevethomas7146 Right! I'm 50 and still work towards increasing my max lifts by incorporating heavy 1-3 rep ranges. Feels good! I'm stronger now than when I lifted in my 20's and 30's.

I lived in the 80's. We did just fine.

[@williamlawlor7445]

One thing though is someone could do a set of five shitty reps whereas another could do a set of five good solid reps with a snap off the floor or a pop out of the hole. I found that five solid reps keeping form good and focusing on that snap off the floor or pop off the chest or out of the hole is better than 8 reps with the same weight but with no focus on that pop or snap. It's the intent that counts on the big three, not the amount of reps with a given weight.

[@johndonovan5521]

It takes a special kind of crazy to lift in gear.....the guys and gals that do it have a special place in my heart!

[@KillianDefaoite]

5-6 reps has always been my golden zone where I feel I get the most out of training. That being said, I am incorporating more high rep sets (WENNING! WARMUPS!) into the beginning of my workouts and can tell my body is responding well. And, singles, doubles and triples are a great way to overload and are fun as well. The key takeaway here is that I think there is a golden zone where most of your training should occur, but *variation is key* . Your body always needs new challenges in order to keep progressing.

Matt , I saw you do push downs on a hammer pull down machine, I never thought of that. Thanks for the insight on a new exercise for me. I just wish at my gym or any gym around here had a hip squat. Years back when I was still on the job, there wasn’t a leg machine I couldn’t max out, plate wise on. I wish I had that devise back then. That was without any enhancement other than the old ultimate orange pre workout. Keep sending out the videos, as a retired cop , I can’t afford anyone’s patreon channel ,especially in these tight times, but I keep abreast of the info via you tube.

I feel like triples work best for me if I use a weight where I could hit for 5, and do more sets. By time I hit my 5th or 6th set of triples I can feel my My technique and speed optimizing. I’ve been in love with the Swiss bar floor press for the last 3 months opened up my shoulders

[@TrainToBeAFreak]

Interesting hearing your side of things versus Louie. I just listened to an old podcast of his where he was saying if you are doing max effort, anymore than 1 rep is a waste. Now to me this sounded silly because the 3 to 4 rep range has always been my sweet spot for strength. Glad to hear a guy at your level with the same thought process.

[@WenningStrength]

2-5 rep range is optimal for raw strength

I'm so glad I stumbled onto this page a week ago. I feel like I completely changed my views on how to do my strength work and the reasons why. As a BJJ guy, I find Matt's info extremely helpful for building a stronger platform to work from. I'm very surprised he doesn't have way more followers, tho. I guess people don't really want to grow stronger.

So are we saying 'max' is less superior to 3-5s generally for raw lifters or use 3-5s in conjunction with 'max' Can the supplemental exercise not be classed as that as part of an overall programme. The pursuit of strength is complicated sometimes ! I love that overhead tri extension machine by the way.

I always ended with one rep max and only reason was becuse of motivation. Didnt matter what max was. If it was a PR i get motivated to do more, if i did less i get motivated to do better. Win win. Actually now my leg workout is focised on how many staircase steps can i take? My pr record is at 6400 steps Right now. And I will not quit before i reach 10 000 Step with a intensity of atleast 50 steps/minut. Cuz 10 000 steps baby is 10 000 steps

Please make a video on why raw lifters do 5 reps because 5 reps trains technique but powerlifting is 1 rep sports so if someone who does lot of volume how he's goona be ready for that one rep max... That's why I think the conjugate is superior it's just ticks all the boxes ... Do you think more raw people should do conjugate??
